Understanding the story behind a restaurant, the chefs, the owners, each dish, and each decoration piece just brings the experience to a whole new level. Usually, I get super excited whenever I get a new book about food but somehow, I never really get through cover to cover. Well, The Art of Living according to Joe Beef is a different story.
For those who love to eat food, watch food, poke food, play with food, stare intently at their food, dream of food and cannot live a second of their life without thinking about it... yes! it is that obsessive!!! An unpretentious blog where my latest discoveries about restaurants, books, events or anything about gastronomy will be discussed! Hungry monsters beware!

Monsieur B. - BYOW
BYOW restaurants are always interesting. Either it is to try a new wine without spending tons or by bringing more than one bottle to make your own wine and food pairing, being able to bring your own alcoholic drink is always an added value. And it doesn't take off a lot from your bill!
I have heard about Monsieur B. quite a lot. In the same group as Les Infidèles, Les Héritiers and O'Thym, other interesting BYOWs, Monsieur B. is a small place that has a lot to offer. On the corner of Villeneuve Street where it used to be a depanneur, Monsieur B. is discreet in the neighborhood. But do not be fooled, it is packed!!!

Van Horne - un bijou à découvrir!
Van Horne est non seulement le nom d'une rue à Montréal, non seulement le nom d'un homme d'importance dans le transport ferroviaire de l'Amérique du Nord, mais également le nom d'un petit restaurant qui en promet tant!
Situé sur la rue Van Horne (eh oui!), ce restaurant s'est fait beaucoup parlé de lui depuis qu'il a été nommé en 2011 un des 10 meilleurs à travers le pays par le magazine En Route! Les propriétaires Sylvie Lachance et Urs Jakob et le chef Eloi Dion ont su développer une cuisine simple du marché sans chichi avec un décor minimaliste mais avec goût. Parfois, c'est cette approche qui fait le plus valoir les talents du chef et la qualité des ingrédients. Aucune source de distraction, le plat est la star.
